<p style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 7px;">In recent years, digital marketing has been blowin’ up a storm. Some have thought the surge in digital advertising spelled the end of print, but that’s one theory that hasn’t proven true.<sup style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 0; ">1</sup> I do declare print ads still exist and even have advantages.</p><p style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 7px;"><strong>Print amounts to much more than a hill of beans.</strong><br /> You can create print ads in a relatively short amount of time, and often the publication will provide design assistance free with the price of the ad. Digital marketing – especially pay-per-click advertising – requires significantly more manpower to develop the right keywords, bidding strategies, landing page quality scores, and analytics. Try integrating print advertisements with your digital campaigns to make both more effective. </p><p style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 7px;"><strong>Print sticks around ‘til the cows come home. </strong><br />The shelf life of print publications provides tremendous value. People read magazines in reception areas, homes, and offices for months after publication. </p><p style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 7px;"><strong>Print is pretty as a peach.</strong><br />Your brand can really shine in print. Using full color and bold images allows for lots of flexibility and makes your brand stand out. </p><p style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 7px;"><strong>Heavens to Betsy, print is credible</strong>.<br />Readers associate the ads they see in print publications with the actual publications themselves. The more people respect the publication, the more they respect the companies advertising in it. This “halo effect” is why more than 80 percent of people trust print ads the most when making a purchase decision.<sup style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 0; ">2</sup></p><p style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 7px;">Explore these articles for more insight and advice:</p><ul style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 7px;"> <li><a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/thesba/2012/06/28/print-is-dead-not-so-fast/#e9501d549414">Print is Dead?
